Re: i got the Alfa wave!!
Londoners simply don't nod, wave or anything similar . . .
. . . they do rude hand gestures from time to time though . . .
**sigh**
If anyone is driving through central London and I wave at them, do wave back, it gets lonely around here

Re: i got the Alfa wave!!
Guy in a V-Reg black Spider with red leather on the M4 this morning didn't acknowledge me as I coasted alongside him for a while. Very sad

If you're in the Durbanville area I'll wave

You're welcome.
Although this time I may have got it wrong - I am old and therefore have the understanding of your grand/dad - don't always get these acronyms right.
Paul.

Paul.
 she was nice though  i'd just flashed her out of a junction (with my lights in case you were wondering  ) and she gave an enthusiastic wave, more i suspect to do with the fact we both drove alfa's than my rugged hollywood good looks

Re: i got the Alfa wave!!
i always wave at others in spiders - a chap near teddington gave me the biggest smile and thumbs up the other day i think ive ever seen. kudos to that man.
but yes, mine regularly tours west london between twickenham & clapham and will always return a wave! :-)
you can generally tell it's me as the roof will be down, even if it's snowing. Oh and if I finally decide to click "Buy now" on these Xenons, it should have those too.
